Watch “Play SENET, game of the Pharaohs from the year 3,000 B.C.E.,” a how-to-play guide for Senet from NewVenture Games on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Our "wayback machine" takes us once more to ancient Egypt and another of the oldest board games known to modern archeology. Senet is a great little race game, with set-backs and strategic mechanisms well known to modern players. Find a copy here: https://newventuregames.com/products/senet/ Senet pits two players against each other on a race to the afterlife, each with five souls in their care, and each subject to the whims of fate represented by four stick dice. The game includes more familiar features, reminding the players of Backgammon, Pachisi, Steeplechase and many others. A great family game for home or on the road, quick enough to be a filler and adaptable to tournament play. As always, thanks for watching! I hope you will subscribe and become a frequent visitor to the channel. And be sure to visit NewVenture Games elsewhere: https://www.newventuregames.com https://www.facebook.com/NewVentureGames ...and be sure to play every day!

About Senet, from BoardGameGeek:

Senet is an ancient Egyptian board game similar to backgammon. Each player has 5 pawns which travel around a 3 by 10 board in an S shaped path. Movement is dictated by the throw of 4 sticks (black on one side and white on the other) which can produce a 1,2,3,4, or 6, (5 is not possible) depending on how they land.. As in backgammon, the objective is to bear all of one's pawns off first. A couple of interesting differences is that there are safe and trap spaces on the board. Also, players may block each others' progress as in Parchisi. Senet sets are usually constructed from various woods and are often quite beautiful. Senet is one of the oldest boardgames but unfortunately it fell out of use for a few thousand years and no ancient rules set has been discovered. Undoubtably another tragic loss resulting from the Library of Alexandria burning to the ground. As a result scholars has made several educated guesses as to the rules. The most popular versions are in the files section. It may be a relative of Aseb and The Royal Game of Ur.
